From the back cover:

You’ve spent a career as a clinician or social worker, but feel as if you need to step away from the role so you can help patients get what they really need…..

OR… you’ve just spent years advocating for yourself or a loved one, and now you think you’d like to help others improve their healthcare experiences, and make a living doing so, too.

People like you, with heart, grit, and great skills want to choose advocacy as a career. But many lack the business skills and knowledge required to start and grow an independent practice.

The Health Advocate’s Start & Grow Your Own Practice Handbook is here to help! This book will help you succeed.
